On election night, Kamala Harris chose to spend her time at Howard University in Washington, D.C., a significant institution for African Americans. Often referred to as ‘The Black Harvard,’ Howard was established in 1867 and has educated notable figures, including Pulitzer Prize-winning author Toni Morrison and civil rights attorney Thurgood Marshall. Harris, who graduated from Howard, highlighted the university’s profound impact on her life and career. During her studies, she participated in debates and protests, and joined the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, creating a foundation that would support her political journey.
